description
Cells of isolates AMBP 158, AMBP 159, AMBP 162 T, AMBP 163, AMBP 229, AMBP 231, AMBP 240, AMBP 241, AMBP 243, AMBP 252, AMBP 253, AMBP 254 and AMBP 256 are facultative heterofermentative, Gram-positive, catalase-positive, straight short rods of 0.8 – 1.6 µm, which do not occur in long chains. They grow aerobically and anaerobically in MRS. Colonies grown aerobically on MRS agar at 30 ° C for 48 h are small, circular and white with a shiny surface. Acid is produced from L-arabinose, ribose, D-galactose, D-glucose, D-fructose, D-mannose, N - acetyl glucosamine, aesculin, salicin, cellobiose, sucrose, trehalose and gluconate. Acid is not produced from glycerol, erythritol, D-arabinose, D-xylose, L-xylose, adonitol, methyl β-xyloside, L-sorbose, rhamnose, dulcitol, inositol, mannitol, sorbitol, methyl α-D-mannopyranoside, methyl α-D-glucoside, amygdalin, arbutin, maltose, lactose, melibiose, inulin, melezitose, raffinose, starch, glycogen, xylitol, β-gentibiose, turanose, D-lyxose, D-tagatose, D-fucose, L-fucose, D-arabitol, L-arabitol and 2 - or 5 - keto-gluconate. Several phenotypic characteristics that are typical for this new species, such as catalase activity and utilization of L-arabinose and sucrose, could play a role in the adaptation of this species to the phyllosphere. The type strain, AMBP 162 T (= LMG 32285 T = CECT 30357 T), was isolated from the leaves of a strawberry plant growing in central Portugal. The genome size of strain AMBP 162 T is 1.96 Mbp and the DNA G + C content is 41 mol %.
